, Mohammed Said Elammoury, Jackson Rodríguez
, Diego Tamayo and Matt Brammeier
. In between the break and the peloton rode Esad Hasanovic , who was chasing the lead group for several kilometres. He rode around 5 to 6 minutes the behind them for some time. The breakaway almost lapped the peloton on the closing circuits, but the American and Belgian teams would increase the pace of the peloton and the gap began to fall. Elammoury was dropped by the other 4 with about 10 laps to go.
Kvachuk dropped Brammeier, Tamayo, and Rodriguez but by the end of the seventh lap the gap had fallen to about 5 minutes. Somewhat like the previous year's race
, a large escape group went away, this time with 5 laps to go. The group contained 31 riders, including the previous year's champion Cadel Evans

and Simon Gerrans
, Edvald Boasson Hagen

, Dane Matti Breschel
and 5 Italians including Vincenzo Nibali

Evans, Gilbert, and Pozzato were chasing behind at the end of the 9th lap, with the peloton 49 seconds behind Nibali. However, the peloton kept the pressure high and had pulled back all the attackers, including the early breakaway at the beginning of the last lap.
On the final ascent of the Montpelier climb, Gilbert made an attack and Evans immediately tried to jump into his slipstream. However, Gilbert got away from Evans, who was absorbed by a chase group containing Paul Martens
of Germany, Alexander Kolobnev of Russia, Koos Moerenhout
of The Netherlands, and Frank Schleck
of Luxembourg. The group was not well organized and was brought back by the remnants of the peloton and Gilbert was also caught with 2 kilometers to go.
